Sabertooth

13,460 with a Classic.

And it gets even better! Full joystick support and cross-platform leaderboards should make @E. King happy!

Amazing update from the dev!

So my sister mailed me this for our daughter due in August. She knows her brother.🤣

10,900 on the handheld.

Good to hear. I think they're just having server issues due to the sale.

12,490. Classic Controller Rotational.

I liked it. Solid horror episode and homage of sorts to a classic. I was surprised by the big character moment. B+

@Stlrs95, I only play this with the Classic. It doesn't have sensitivity adjustment but once you get accustomed to it, it's pretty great.
